Per request of our good friend and PGR member Gregg “Digger” Walker (Walker Family Funeral Services), the family of Kenneth R. Trimble has invited the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be a privilege to do so.
Kenneth was born on 06 October 1926 in Los Angeles and entered into Eternal Rest on 24 June 2018 in Pomona.
Kenneth entered the U.S. Navy in 1945 serving aboard the USS Sarda (SS488) a Tench Class Submarine during WWII. His citations/awards included the WWII Victory Medal and was honorably discharged as a Seaman First Class in 1947.
After the military and college, Kenneth would spend more than thirty-four years at Pac Bell as a telecommunications engineer.
Kenneth is survived by his wife of seventy years, Margaret and daughters Barbara and Susan. He also leaves behind nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Kenneth is predeceased by his daughter Julie. He will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him.
